Selection and participation
Participants are selected by VACANTO SRL, which reviews the applications and decides on the overall mix of the programme.
Applications are assessed in particular on the quality and originality of the proposal, how well it fits the event concept, its organisational and technical feasibility, and the variety and appeal of the overall line-up.
Submitting an application does not entitle you to take part. The final selection, the conditions of participation, the available pitches and the organisational arrangements will be communicated and agreed in writing once the selection process is complete.
